Best way to retro flash roof against wood siding wall?

[Brandon J. Whitmore]

So, I received at least one red square, I assume in regards to my posts on this subject. Anyone have the decency to step forward and actually let me know why?

I couldn't care less as to what my reputation is on this site, it's the pincipal of the matter.

Bill,
The sideing should be 2" off of the roof deck and properly flashed. Caulk does not belong on a roof.

[David P. Valley]

Now that's one shoddy install at the sidewall transition area.

This illustration will show you the best way to properly flash a sidewall area.

Nice pic. David,

imo the one going up the wall when it comes to a stucco application needs to be a minimum of 4 inche's to have the proper lapping of materials.

Do you mind if I ask where you got the pic?

I own the Carson Dunlop "Illustrated Home CD".

I have tons of illustrations on file.

Hire a roofer - he'll tell you what you want to hear to get the job.

Hire an inspector - he'll tell you the stuff you don't want to hear, because he doesn't have a financial stake in it.

Flashings


5" on the roof and 5" up the wall.

you are a non member. You are a new user. No one knows who the heck you are. And in essence you are stating, on a Home Inspection message board, that a home inspector can't help him and he needs a roofer instead. Any other stupid questions?

Thanks for the answer,

I am a home inspector in Oregon (you already have my name)... have been for 6 years or so. It is correct that I am a non member, but my opinion won't change whether or not I am a member.

I never said that a home inspector "couldn't" help him. Home inspector's already have..... on this message board. I am sure there are other screwed up installations on that roof, and it does need to be looked at by a competent professional. I just don't like to drum up business and charge people when I do not believe it is necessary. There are good and bad in every profession, that includes our own. Just find one of the good guy's to evalute that roof

Your opinions of course will vary.

Regarding the "any other stupid questions statement"--- that was completely unneccessary and I will just leave it at that.

Just because my opinion on something may differ from your's does not mean it's not valid.
